Pat S 9 31128a Custom Framing Portfolios

While we are known for our Koa Frames and Fine Art from local artists, we also have a specific type of artist that can help design a frame to compliment your memorabilia. When you visit a Pictures Plus store, you are greeted by our Custom Framing Designers that provides great customer support and knowledgeable experience while giving you the best tips on how your memorabilia can be displayed.

We would like to introduce our Custom Framing Portfolios from our Custom Framing Designers. Our Design Consultants have created some visually stunning custom framing that highly compliments our customers memorabilia and we would like to share their work with you. Our goal is not only to show what our custom framing designers can do but also give you ideas and examples on your next framing project.

Our first portfolio piece we would like to share done by Pat at the Kahala Mall, Pictures Plus Home store. A customer came in and wanted their child’s unique artwork framed. The artwork features a landscape that “pops” out at you  giving a “3D” like appearance. A very good concept at a young age! The glossy black frame with a gold accent build-up compliments the artwork. This frame has a slight depth that enhances the artwork’s 3D-like effect.

Happy Kamehameha Day!

Friday, June 10th, 2011 | Article by: Jason

Kamehameha Day on June 11th is a State holiday celebrated in Hawai‘i. It was first established by royal decree by Kamehameha V in 1871 to honor his great grandfather, Kamehameha the Great.  Kamehameha is credited with uniting the Islands of Hawai‘i. His ambition and knack for diplomacy earned him the title “Napoleon of the Pacific” among westerners. King Kamehameha’s full name is Kalani Paiʻea Wohi o Kaleikini Kealiʻikui Kamehameha o ʻIolani i Kaiwikapu kaui Ka Liholiho Kūnuiākea.

You can celebrate Kamehameha Day by taking part in a number of events that harken back to ancient Hawai‘i such as floral parades and hula competitions. Or you can visit the statue of King Kamehameha in front of Ali‘iolani Hale or ‘Iolani Palace and place your lei on the King. However you decide to celebrate, please have a fun and safe Kamehameha Day!

Kokua for Japan

Friday, March 25th, 2011 | Article by: Jason

tomo011 300x200 Kokua for Japan

 

Honolulu, March 24, 2011: Local artist, Dennis Mathewson, teams up with Pictures Plus and Chromaco to help produce and auction off an original work of art. 100% of sales will be donated to the American Red Cross Japan Disaster Relief Fund. The painting is entitled Tomodachi which, in English, translates into friend or friends. It depicts two tikis – one tiki (representing Hawaii) sharing a sprouting coconut with the other tiki (representing Japan). The painting symbolizes the friendship between Hawaii and Japan, and the Kokua extended to Japan in the wake of the tsunami.
The original is being auctioned off on eBay. Limited edition giclée (zhee-clay) prints and smaller matted fine art prints are also being sold at all Pictures Plus locations. There are only forty giclée prints in the edition, being sold at $200 each. The matted fine art prints are being sold for $20 each. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Tomodachi original painting, limited edition giclées and the fine art prints will be donated to the American Red Cross to benefit the Japan Disaster Relief Fund. Pictures Plus hopes to generate $20,000 or more to donate to the American Red Cross.
Dennis Mathewson, an artist and custom painter, created the painting. He airbrushed Tomodachi onto aluminum and utilized an array of airbrushing and freehand painting techniques to produce a painting with vibrant colors and fine details. Chromaco, a fine art printing company located in Iwilei, reproduced the painting and donated high-quality, limited edition giclée prints of the Tomodachi painting to Pictures Plus. All Pictures Plus stores are stocking Tomodachi fine art prints and limited edition giclées. The original will be displayed at Pictures Plus stores and Diamond Head Gallery on Oahu on the following dates:
